This is an 11.5% ABV imperial stout that has been aged for 12 months in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. This beer pours absolutely jet black and gives off waves of dark chocolate, vanilla, demerara sugar and bourbon.

We always have fun using adjuncts to accent big stouts, but we absolutely love these beers served straight up with only a barrel treatment. This beer stands out with a complexity that only time, patience, the highest quality ingredients and the freshest barrels can give. We hope you enjoy it with loved ones over the holidays!

Dark brown colour, close to black, not much head to talk about. Aroma of alcohol, tar, cacao. Full bodied, intense flavour of burnt sugar, with tar, and some cacao; sweet but not syrupy; strong bourbon and alcohol warmth. Intense.

12oz (thx, Chris S.!) on Alex's porch. Appearance: very dark brown with a weak brown head. Aroma: charred oak, sweetness, chocolate. Taste: along the same lines, quite thick. Overall: very nice and balanced.

355ml can @ Pien, Helsinki. Intense barrel notes, bourbon, vanilla, oak and wood, some sweetish syrupy notes, roastiness and coffee.
